Bills 28, Steelers 13

We gotta stop bringing in like three mid guys every off-season at WR and just take the plunge on a great WR or a very high draft pick. Great players also miss less time. My sense is Josh needs less interchangeable oft-hurt guys and more dependable players who he can get in rhythm with and trust. What John Brown, Cole Beasley and Stefon Diggs were to him 2019-2022.

Pickens is a guy who can hurt and threaten defenses badly downfield, and he plays with a second guy like that in CeeDee Lamb. Having that makes Dak so much better… and in the big moments you saw Pickens close out the Chiefs by getting open on a crucial third down in the 4th Q. Like Davante Adams, AJ Brown, Puka Nucua, Devonta Smith… every great team has one or two such guys. Stafford is having his best ever season. The Eagles don’t have the QB to make them as lethal as we could. Even the Chiefs with very little cap room have Hollywood (who was such a guy for the Ravens) and Rice, plus Kelce. The Bills of course have never had two, and have zero since Diggs left. So if we could get at least one we should absolutely do that. I would trade a first plus Keon (see what we did there) in a heartbeat for Pickens.

Agree since Houston was letting us run… but balanced offenses take what the defense gives you. One issue with Brady is he doesn’t seem to adjust his play calls to what the defense is actually showing on the field.

If Brandin Cooks and Josh gel...

We have as good a chance as we ever did... and the Chiefs are not likely to be in the dance.

Ohhhh...

Yes, but if we have a WR1 who defenses have to respect, it should make it easier for all to get open even without Brady coming up with answers...

True on both counts. But we could still go on a run!

Yes, but since we got expectations in 2020, there are only three teams (Chiefs, Rams, Eagles) whose fans got to be happy. And you could make the same point about theb Chiefs, that they should be a better more discplined team after this many years under Reid.

Well, our game on Thursday was pretty depressing. But it gave us the chance to watch some relatively stress-free games on Sunday and Monday night. And I have to say... I came away feeling a little better. There is NO dominant team in the NFL this year, no team that I feel we couldn't beat on our day. Every contender who played showed major limitations or looked vulnerable, with one exception--the Rams. But if we play the Rams it means we made it to the Super Bowl. If we get some guys back (Kincaid, Oliver, Brown) by January, we could go on a run. I would love for the Pats to get the number one seed and then get knocked off immediately by us or the Chiefs. Watching them struggle against Flacco and the Bengals sure didn't scare me. And they're getting banged up, too. Now, of course, the Bills would have to improve a lot to make a run this year, for sure... but if they can put it together there's no team that it looks impossible for them to beat.

Get him a WR1 and let's roll!!

Pickens and Devonta Smith are the ideal WRs for Josh... elite ball trackers who can come down with it even if it's not right in their hands

Great TD run by Hurts

What is with 56 false starting/not getting set on every down for the Eagles??
